Special Class vs. Dinner with Cousin

<-NARRATOR:-> Listen to a conversation between two students.
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> Hey, Bob. Been meaning to ask, how's that film class going?
<-MALE STUDENT:-> Great! And guess what? There's a special class meeting tomorrow night to view an Alfred Hitchcock film. There'll be a discussion after the film.
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> Hitchcock films are great!
You're gonna be there, right?
<-MALE STUDENT:-> I don't know. There's a conflict....
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> What's that?
<-MALE STUDENT:-> Well, I'm supposed to have dinner at the dining hall with my cousin-
he is coming tomorrow to spend the day on campus and check out the university, trying to decide whether to enroll in classes here next year.
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> Well, maybe I can help.
I eat at the dining hall every night... so if you want, he can come to dinner with me and some friends of mine.
<-MALE STUDENT:-> Hmm. That's really nice of you.
It would help him if he got to talk to a few different people about campus life.
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> OK. Let's do that.
<-MALE STUDENT:-> Well, the thing is, he's kinda shy and he might be uncomfortable with people he doesn't know.
And I do want him to enjoy himself here.
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> Hey, we'll be nice.
Anyway, do you have a better idea?
<-MALE STUDENT:-> Well, I can skip the film and have dinner with my cousin as planned. I'd rent the film and watch it later.
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> But what about the discussion?
<-MALE STUDENT:-> I'd miss that.
And it could be very interesting.
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> Well, lemme know when you decide.
